Xavier Doney Excels with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint Victory at Lucas Oil Speedway
Wheatland, MO. (8/17/24) Xavier Doney would nearly perfect the night with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the Summer Thunder presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his inaugural league victory and pocket the $5K payday in an outstanding feature event at Lucas Oil Speedway.
Flying onto the smooth surface with twenty-two talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Xavier Doney set a quick qualifying time of 13.638-second lap with Noah Gass, Gunner Ramey, and Miles Paulus each earning heat racing victories.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Xavier Doney and Gunner Ramey lined up in the front row as Xavier Doney would gain the lead on the opening lap with Gunner Ramey, Blake Hahn, Kyle Bellm, and Ayrton Gennetten all raced within the top five.
Holding steady up front while stretching a commanding two-second lead, Xavier Doney would appear to be a class by himself for most of the night as great battling action would take place behind the front-running Doney with Blake Hahn and Kyle Bellm attempting to keep pace as the laps ticked away rapidly.
Xavier Doney would not be denied in earning his first career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed thirty lap main event after leading every step of the way with Ayrton Gennetten hustling into the runner-up position late.
“The top was about as thin as it gets with it being pretty treacherous,” said Xavier Doney in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I was fortunate to be in clean air and recover pretty easy after overcooking it a couple of times.”.
Challenging closely behind would find Blake Hahn placing on the final podium placement as Kyle Bellm would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Miles Paulus would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in the Summer Thunder event at Lucas Oil Speedway.
